A Fantastic Multi-Generational Holiday Idea in NI

Planning a holiday catering to the diverse interests and needs of three generations can be daunting. You want a place where the grandparents can relax, the parents can unwind, and the kids can let off steam.

Look no further than Blessingbourne Country Estate in Northern Ireland!

Our hidden gem in Fivemiletown, County Tyrone is the perfect destination for a multi-generational family holiday. With ample accommodation, a wealth of activities, and beautiful surroundings, Blessingbourne is the destination where everyone in the family can create cherished memories together.

Why Choose Blessingbourne for a Multi-Generational Holiday?

Space for Everyone

 

One of the standout features of Blessingbourne Country Estate is its range of self-catering accommodation options.

The estate can comfortably sleep up to 34 people with eight charming apartments. This means that there is plenty of space for everyone whether you’re planning a holiday with immediate family or a larger family reunion.

Grandparents and parents can enjoy their own private apartments, providing a perfect balance of togetherness and personal space. This setup allows for quality family time without the stress of overcrowding.

Privacy and Togetherness

Blessingbourne offers a private, tranquil setting where families can truly connect. The estate’s expansive grounds ensure that everyone can find their own little corner to enjoy.

Picture grandparents sharing stories on a peaceful morning walk, parents sipping coffee while the kids play safely nearby, and everyone coming together for a family picnic or BBQ.

Activities for All Ages

One of the greatest challenges of a multi-generational holiday is finding activities that everyone can enjoy.

Blessingbourne excels in this regard, offering a variety of activities that cater to all age groups.

The 13km of exhilarating mountain biking trails are not to be missed for the more adventurous. The woodlands-based track has trails for beginners and professionals so everyone can try them!

Grandparents, parents and grandkids will enjoy walking the picturesque trails that wind through the estate, around the private Lough Fadda and mature woodland.

Water enthusiasts who visit Blessingbourne love bringing their paddleboards and kayaks out on the lake for a paddle and to view the wonderful scenery from an entirely different angle. Wild swimming is another popular lake activity with our young and old visitors.

Fishing enthusiasts can also spend the afternoon by the lake, either lakeside or on one of our boats for hire. Picture Grandad teaching grandson how to fish on Lough Fadda!

Our tennis courts are a fun way to stay active and provide a great opportunity for friendly inter-generational competition.

The abundance of wildlife on the estate is a treat for nature lovers of all ages, offering opportunities for bird watching, deer spotting and nature walks.

Indoor Gatherings & Experiences

 

Families don’t have to depend on good weather for a fun time at Blessingbourne as we have our spacious Coach House to retreat to.

The beautiful house is in our courtyard and has a fully equipped kitchen and large living space to gather with a wood-burning stove, sofas and television. This is ideal for chilling with the entire family while enjoying a cuppa and watching a movie.

Within the Coach House, we can also offer unique experiences such as barn dancing, catered barbeques, and a variety of other activities, making it the perfect hub for your next multi-generational trip.

Convenience and Comfort

 

While the estate itself is a haven of relaxation and activity, its location adds an extra layer of convenience.

Blessingbourne is close to activity centres, Todds Leap and Share Discovery Village, which are perfect for keeping the kids entertained, as well as the charming town of Fivemiletown.

Here, families can enjoy delicious meals and drinks in the local restaurants, cafes, and pubs. Some of our visitors’ favourite places to eat include The Valley Hotel and The Potter’s Hand.

For those who love golf, the nearby Clogher Valley Golf Club offers a fantastic way to spend a leisurely afternoon.

Creating Precious Memories

At the heart of a multi-generational holiday is the opportunity to spend precious time together and create lasting memories.

Blessingbourne Country Estate provides the ideal setting for this. Imagine grandparents teaching their grandchildren to fish, parents challenging each other to a friendly tennis match, and the whole family gathering around a log-burning stove in the evening.

These are the moments that turn a holiday into a cherished family tradition.
